Just a shout out to Merill. I love your straight shooting NYC style. I'm a relative newbie to detecting. Had about 6 detectors in the past year. Ended up with a simplex. Can't get a 'Nox or wife would leave me. So far I've got about $30 in clad coins with a few silvers. Also enough car parts to make a car. Found a pair of police handcuffs. Got asked to leave a few public totlots. (Could be my heavy flannel jacket and bag of candy . . . just kiddind pervs deserve 440 volts not Vanquish 440!) My new purchase is a Vanquish 540. Probably my last unless I want to share room with Fido.
Thanks again for your excellent work - Steve from Georgia
Steve, your story really resonates! I’ve also been exploring detecting as a newbie, and it’s amazing how much you can uncover with persistence. The Vanquish 540 sounds like a fantastic upgrade—I’ve heard it’s incredibly precise and easy to handle, making those elusive finds much more rewarding. Your adventures with coins, car parts, and even handcuffs remind me that every trip is unpredictable, yet thrilling. On a related note, for anyone into salvage cars or looking for a side project, AutobidMaster offers a huge selection of affordable dent cars. It’s been a great resource for me to find parts and potential rebuilds. Keep hunting, Steve!
